LIFEOFBK: Not Sure When This Happened →
Sometime in the last few months, google enabled voicemail forwarding from your regular phone number to your (incredible) Google Voice voicemail box.
Inside Google Voice, go to “settings” > and click “activate Google voicemail on this phone” next to the number that you want awesome voicemail on….
Giddy at the thought of never having to listen to another voicemail.
Kit: Nothing better than watching
Kit: Nothing better than watching a Jack Tahiti movie.

New York Turns Parking Meters into Bike Racks →
hunsonisgroovy:
Biking is way up in New York, but the city only has one bike rack space for every 30 cyclists. The solution? Repurpose old parking meters:
Under the city’s latest green transportation plan, about 225 parking meters across the city will have their heads hacked off and be turned into bike racks. The transformation starts this spring on the Upper East and West sides; Park Slope,...

Your Refrigerator: "We need to have a talk." →
urbanfoodie:
Unless you tend towards the obsessive-compulsive and take an interest in kitchen organization, chances are good that your refrigerator’s needs are not being met. This article from the Wall Street Journal describes some of the ways that people neglect and abuse the kitchen appliance that we seem to love the most and care for the least.

Exclusive: How Google’s Algorithm Rules the Web |... →
nickdouglas:
Google’s synonym system understood that a dog was similar to a puppy and that boiling water was hot. But it also concluded that a hot dog was the same as a boiling puppy. The problem was fixed in late 2002 by a breakthrough based on philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s theories about how words are defined by context. As Google crawled and archived billions of documents and Web pages, it...

On Perspective, and the Olympics
M.: Watch any Olympics?
Me: Heck no.
M.: Too bad...Shaun White is a hero.
Me: Why? Because he did a 1260? Because even Tony Hawk can't do a 1260?
Me: Or did Shaun White save Haiti, or something?
M.: No. Just the 1260.
Me: Right.

On Sam Sifton's Motorino Review
Me: I mean, I get it. It's a pizzeria. You can't give a pizzeria a 4-star review.
Me: But can't a pizzeria transcend its genre? Can't it get 2 stars? I mean, what are the other pizzerias gonna get if Motorino can only scrape one star?
Max: 1/2 star. None. "DiFara's is amazing, never a poor note. Zero stars."
Me: Right. I kept waiting for a negative: "poor service." "Bad sauce." "Soggy crust." But, no. Motorino gave Sam Sifton one big, consistent boner.
Max: One big, consistent ONE-STAR boner.

However, when Mr. Joe Stack flew his plane into an IRS building and killed people, the news media calls it. “the accident,” and “the incident.” The local Texas prosecutor declared that Mr. Stack was not a terrorist. But what should you call it...

What did you watch? The last time I was there I saw Vertigo. And it was amazing.
Shutter Island, which was visually enticing and had an amazing soundtrack, which for me, the story didn’t quite keep up with. Would have loved to have seen Vertigo...
